Wild Times with Susan Maletta

Comedic, improvisational monologue (with occasional guests) focused on personal development themes and challenges such as finding happiness in this fleeting life and overcoming adversity and depression.
The philosophy of this podcast is Work Hard, Party Harder and the purpose is to help others find success and happiness. Get successful so you can be happier and reward yourself with fun and wild times, baby.
I try to teach you lessons that I have learned in my life, learned the hard way, or researched to save you the time and hassle. The things I teach you are things I'm interested in learning more about, so we are in this together, bud.
I make information accessible through humor and my ability to speak or relate to any type of person... EXCEPT the easily offended. Please f u c k off now, trust me. I can't be bothered with weak people.
Anyway, I'm on a journey of personal and professional growth, and I hope you join me on the journey and get some benefit from it. At a minimum, you will laugh with me (or AT me ... just over there judgin' me... that's fine too) and have a fine and dandy time doing so.
At the maximum, we will learn a lot together, inspire and motivate each other, and ultimately fall in love with each other. Yes. We will.
I also swear a lot so you'll have to get over that. I temper it with eloquent speaking and useful information, though, so there's that.. love me or fuck the fuck off, like I said... don't be one of those idiots who believes that people who swear lack creativity, intelligence, or an extensive vocabulary. You clearly haven't communicated with me or the rest of the modern world. I say that in love. This is also a comedy podcast, just sayin'...
WARNING: Many times I speak on sexually explicit topics with reckless abandon so while you may be disturbed, you WILL be excited and entertained. This is NSFW. Thank you for joining me!

(Just fyi there is a slight pause before the recording starts that I failed to edit out.) You're probably thinking...what does content creation have to do with Wild Times?

If you work hard to create something, you get to reward yourself with wild times (fun, adventure, going out, laughing, dancing, and cutting loose).

The focus is STILL on happiness, health, and productivity, with the current, narrower focus being on using our creativity, whether it lays dormant or is springing forth actively.

Join me in my process of developing the content development habit. Doing this podcast daily is a start for me. Writing new comedy material daily is the goal, and getting clips of my comedy to send to bookers. Busting through creative blocks. LET'S DO IT!

Oh, and plan a wild time for yourself (in whatever way you want) for your next day off. Never have a day off? Quit. Unless you LOVE working, then fine. Still take some time off, though. Write down what you can do that is SOMEWHAT WILD (not mild).

This will give you something pleasurable to look forward to. Yes. It could be sex. Plan your sex. Planned sex sucks, but do it if you have to.

I also offer podcasting tips in this episode and recommend a good video on youtube that I found helpful.

This was recorded earlier today. I finally used my good microphone! The sound should be much better than previous episodes. Today I vent my frustrations about why I hate recording myself and making clips.

Join me in planning out content development. Plan to write or draw or paint or cook or record or decorate or perform or grow or build something or make a video (or make ANYTHING) just to start being creative and feel what that feels like. Impress yourself by producing some content every day. What do you like to make?

Let’s drop our screen time down and increase our creative output. The focus for the next two weeks is less consumption (like of entertainment or social media or food or drinking) and more production.

What can you create today? Jokes? A podcast? A video series? Music? Prepared meals for your family? A new deck on your house? A product to sell? What can you make? What can you produce? Decide and then do that for 14 days. I’ll be checking in on your (and my) progress. This will be good for us. Join me.

Don’t let the weekend escape you too quickly! Strategically plan your day to not waste precious time on things like social media, arguing, putting yourself in traffic, and wasting time in busy stores during busy hours.

Stop being one of the sheep and be a leader.

Stop fucking around and plan your day out so that you can stop complaining you don’t have time to fulfill your dreams. Got it? Love you.

Happy Friday! Short podcast today. (And maybe not the best one either. I take you on my drive to the vet. I apologize for occasional navigation interruptions and audio issues!)

Tonight we do another, better, wilder podcast and I will have special guest comedians. We will be using actual good microphones, I promise.

For now, let’s plan our day and touch base. How is your planning going? This is Day 13 of the 2-week success planning challenge. Tomorrow is the last one and then on to the next challenge! Join me and remember, if you fail to plan - you plan to fail. Let’s plan a successful day. And let’s make sure to have some fun. I’m not kidding.

Positive mindset development through self-awareness, daily planning, and finding the humor in all of this shit. Today’s focus is on the power that we all have to choose our own thoughts, feelings, actions, and reactions. Let’s decide how we are going to feel today and let’s make it happy, for starters...

Here is the link to the ice machine I told you about that makes the cute little ice cubes that look like mini-cups:

Hear me blab about my long To Do list and also plan my health-related corrective action plan. Join me and write out a list of things you need to accomplish today to feel happy, healthy, and productive. It will help keep you focused on your highest priorities, which in my case, is my health. Health should also be your highest priority so go to the goddamned dentist already, will ya?

Surviving the loss of my beloved cat, surviving my emotions and stress, and generally surviving the weekend. In this episode, we continue where we left off—planning self-care, happiness, and progress towards our goals (in that order). Join me in finding the humor in all of this shit.

A few topics include:

What helps me deal with loss, stress, or anxiety (recommendations)

Insight into my personal struggles

How to learn to laugh at yourself and the world, or to just find laughter daily in general for healing and happiness

For you audiophiles—yeah I know the sound is a little shitty at first (it improves slightly). I also have asthma and will be getting an inhaler so fuck off. :). I’ll use my good mic for the next one.

Ugh! I have a major case of the Mondays. Join me in my pain and let’s try to turn it around and be positive! Let’s plan happiness.

This morning podcast has a purpose right now: Motivating you to plan your day with me, focusing on productivity, health, and happiness. Maybe more like “motivational entertainment” I guess you could say...

Writing a gratitude list every day helps us with finding happiness. You become what you focus on.

I want to be more positive! I want to make the best use of my time every day and not waste it. Join me in the quest!
